Tuesday’s trip.

It’s been another glorious week here in our little seaside town, with only a little rain falling overnight yesterday. But on Tuesday we decided to have a day out, not least to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and Snape Maltings were our destination. It’s a place we’ve visited numerous times, the home of the Aldeburgh Festival as well as a food festival in September, but it also houses a variety of retail outlets and usually has an art exhibition too. This visit didn’t disappoint with a magnificent “Wave” painting by Maggie Hamblin on offer. £75K was a little out of my price range though 😉 There are options for lunch too – an Adnams pub, a revamped cafe and a restaurant overlooking the marshes, with the river running by. It was low tide but we clearly saw some very large fish trying to stay cool in the vanishing water. If you feel a bit brave there’s a barge moored on the quayside which is available for overnight stays, but I’m not sure I’d want all those visitors strolling by the windows. Back home for dinner at the Fludyers which never disappoints. Quite a day x
